my nephew brought his 02 F250 over today, saying the front hubs were siezed
again.
when he bought it in the spring, i noticed it was i 4 wheel drive. it
seems
the previous owner locked the hubs when he bought it, and left them locked
for 90,000 miles.
i pulled them off, and soaked them real good with pb blaster, and got them
to work a little. they were too stiff to turn by hand, but if you used a
little P.V.C. tool i made, they would work. here is a pic of the tool.
the
pic shows it being used on my 66, but you will get the idea of what i am
talking about.

now, the hubs are siezed again, and almost impossable to turn, even using
the tool.
is there anything i can do to free them up, or am i going to have to buy
new
hubs??
